I was very impressed with John’s professionalism and initiative. John’s speech was not canned, or altered to fit Options Annual Meeting, it was written for our agency…John’s speech was memorable and inspirational…

John is truly an eloquent and intelligent individual, and has made an impact…I highly recommend John Di Frances was a speaker to any organization looking for a keynote speaker with personal stories, a personalized speech, and an inspirational message.

- Melissa Copas, Development Director, Options for Better Living

“John is an excellent communicator, articulate writer and very personable. Many of my conversations with him left me thinking deeply about my own life and it’s ultimate purpose. If you need a speaker who can both motivate, inspire and leave your audience thinking long after the event is over, John is the person you should consider inviting. Most important for me is John’s fierce commitment to integrity. You can trust that he will always give his honest best, regardless of the situation.”
